Zeiss Lens Lineup & Camera Compatibility

Zeiss creates high-quality cinema lenses that can be used for a variety of creative and technical applications. With so many great lens options, it can be difficult to choose the best lens for your needs. To make things a little easier, we have created two new resources. Our CP.2 Lens Lineup presents all the CP.2 lenses in one easy-to-read comparison chart.

We have also created an overview of lens and camera compatibility. This chart allows you to map which Zeiss lenses work with each camera system and indicates if any adapters are needed. Click on the images to view a larger version of each chart, or download pdf versions below.
